My Paris
Welcome to My Paris! Join me for an armchair tour of exquisite Parisian pâtisseries, chocolate shops, confiseries, tea shops to compliment my book, Teatime in Paris – plus my ongoing list of Best Tea Salons in Paris (by arrondissement).
I’m not just mad about macarons: you’ll also find articles below on visits in and around Paris – and now, as ambassador for our region of les Yvelines just west of Paris along the Seine, I do hope you’ll venture out of the city to discover many hidden discoveries in the ‘haven of the Impressionists’, away from the tourist crowds.
Self-Guided Pastry Tours in Paris
I no longer lead my chocolate/pastry walks in Paris, but many of my favourite addresses and stories are cited along with the pastry and macaron recipes in my 2nd book, Teatime in Paris. I have also created my own FREE, self-guided Montmartre chocolate & pastry walk.

Jill was amazing. So fun and engaging and knowledgeable, I would definitely recommend her and this tour to anyone visiting Paris (June 2016)
Couldn’t have asked for a more enthusiastic, engaging and knowledgeable docent than Jill Colonna! A carefully crafted story, likely akin to the careful planning required for successful baking. Jut the right amount of history to ground the tasty tour in French history. Despite pouring rain, none of us even noticed for the tour was so engaging. A real treat for anyone whom has ever enjoyed dessert (like everyone!). Photos from the tour sent back to friends evoked longing and likely travel plans for Paris.
Great tour, very informative and fun
Jill’s enthusiasm for the subject made the walk successful. She was knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
